It's been a while since I've posted anything, or to be honest even been on the BCTS site. I have just posted a little festive story which I hope will remind you all that I am still around.

Suddenly there seems to be very strong pressure on the Internet to use my real name. It seems that almost no one on BCTS does that. Suddenly, about 2 hours ago Facebook is wanting me to make a new password. Not sure what is going on. Is there some sort of danger in my starting to use my real name on BCTS? I don't mind.

I've encountered a bit of writers block with How I Spent My Summer Vacaction: I became a Girl!. So in order to break that writers block I've decided to try something, something all writers did when I was starting out. Well writers in the Harvest Moon Community that is. Anyway, since Emily favorite gaming series is 'Star Dew Valley' a series of anime inspired farming simulator games that have some elements of JRPG's thrown in to spice things up, like upgrading your farming tools and building releationships with the locals, and an 'life bar'.

While scratching away, vainly trying to write something intelligent, compelling and interesting, it comes to me that as far as TG, GID and all that, it feels like I've "Been there and done that". This is no reflection at all on the experience of anyone else. I've had over 70 years to think about, theorize and experience the whole of it, and as soon as I could took the plunge trying to make it all real. In some ways I had great success and in others it was disastrous. I'm sure that my suffering is typical of the usual T person, so I won't further traumatize you.

I finally have something new up, but I don't think people are gonna like it.

Hoping this talk will interest people here. I'll be there in-person,

Talk will be live-streamed on YouTube, and you can type in questions during the talk. Ask early, talks usually run only 45 minutes before Q&A starts.

so yesterday, my mom convinced me I needed a hair cut, as it was starting to go all over the place. Sadly, I just can't seem to have long hair, so I agreed, and got it done.

Since then, seeing my reflection has brought out my dysphoria, which only got added to today when my ex commented that I looked more like a man, more like the person I was before I started wearing women's clothes in public.

So I am really feeling ugly, and would appreciate any hugs anybody can spare.

A lot of fairly nonsensical things were stated by the Republican presidential candidates in last night’s debate. Some were hateful, that concerned our community.

For those like me who have been looking at a lot of best books lists in hope of finding something new, especially anyone looking at best fantasies. Most of them do get around to mentioning Tolkein eventually( He should be at the top) but I've seen no mention of what I think is the second best fantasy epic of the last century. Guy Kay Gavriel's Fionaver Tapestry. He draws together a vast range of folklore from across Europe in one masterful story. There is no trans content but has everything else you could want in a fantasy tale.

Part two of Silver Bell Wishes is now up!

Due to a slow connection and an itchy button-pressing finger, it got posted twice.

I hope the Admin will remove the second posting. I promise to be more patient with future postings

Is there a world somewhere for everyone?

New serial by SammyC starting on Patreon, free for everyone to read.

So, I've hit a bit of a stumbling block. And I was hoping the readership here could help me out. I have two possible ideas for a story, both are kind of beach themed. One centers on Persephone paiting the gulf coast red. The other be an intro for a new character, or feature Isabella. The first one is more, fun, adventure, slice of life, that flavored with anime and manga style humor. The other is dark, brooding and a bit scary, maybe even too scary.

we are now into the final throes of 2023.

Advice for authors that I received and am passing on.

One of the best pieces I ever received was simple, a setting is not a plot.

It sounds odd, but it is true, you get an idea for a place, you detail it exquisitely, but people do not (generally) come out of the theatre quoting the scenery….

Yes knowing your background is important, knowing how a school is set up matters for a story set in a school, but unless you are very good, very weird or just odd (like me) the school is not the story, just the scenery.

so yesterday, I got very sick, with the runs, vomiting, joint pain, and a fever.

I'm a little better now, but still not all the well.

huggles appreciated.

Amanda faces the music after her 'Mom" has to pick her up from jail.

Because we need you ...
And I need you in particular, because there are books to be published and story ideas to be run up your flagpole ...
And Eric has almost finished my second book of western micro-novellas and it contains some of my best material that you and all the closeteers out there are going to just adore!

I'm looking for a story that was published on BCTS. It consists of about 3 or 4 volumes worth of story. In the first volume mankind has spaceships. The main character is a young man who is something like a janitor or maintenance person. The ship is attacked by monsters that turn crewmen into more monsters. But something different happens with this young man and he winds up turning into a young woman with powers to fight back. Many of the battles occur on the microscopic level as the populations of "good" creatures fight the populations of "bad" creatures.

I'm sick. It appears to be a simple cold, but it's been with me for five days. I'm going to try to get in to see a doctor today or, at least, get a covid test.

Things may be delayed around here for a bit.

Hugs to all,
Erin

So this morning when Mom and I went out to our car, we discovered someone had smashed in the driver's side window - for the 4th time since we moved in here.

I'm hanging in there, but hugs appreciated.

Despite what many on this channel think of conservative news sites, if you aren't sampling them you only get half the story of life. The following is a lady who says she's a Christian. I would fault her on the following comment. Basically she is claiming if she dressed less like a woman and more like a man it would cure her husband of wanting to be what she no longer represented in the family..., a female. That is so wrong and so upside down in thinking and logic. Give it some thought yourself. She's okay dressing less as a female but he's wrong for dressing less as a male.

and a return of the muse!

I am hoping to post Chapter 11 of “I Don’t Like You” by next weekend.

Well, I spent most of today working on my Author web page on this site:

Teek's Author Web Page

Now I want input from those that might access such things. Are there any problems, glitches, confusing elements, or things you think should be changed or improved. I only have access to one web browser, so it might be helpful if you include your web browser if you list a problem.

I've been working on some short stories that one might classify as lewd or pornographic. I had thought that I would tone them down before I published them at BCTS feeling as though that was my only proper option. One of them is Forced Feminization with Bondage. I am shocked at myself that now that I'm nearly finished, I do not wish to castrate it. Yes, I know there are other sites and I wonder if I should attempt to use one of them?

Does anyone else get this? I have checked the Remember Me box for my log in, but it never does and with just about every time I come to the site, I have to log in again. And with that comes this error:

1. Understanding the Prompt

Tomorrow many Americans will celebrate our distinctive Thanksgiving holiday. It’s a difficult time for many in the trans community, especially those who have been rejected by their families. But it’s also a time to count blessings and give thanks. I didn’t want the occasion to pass without giving the thanks I can only articulate in this space: my deep, profound, and heartfelt thanks for every member of this community. For the women and men who have read my stories and for the incredibly talented authors whose stories have touched me this past year.

and most of the leaves have fallen.

well, I have some good news.

I talked with the cable company, and got them to wave the 470$ fee for my cable box.

I feel a lot better . . .

Today, November 20, 2023 is the Transgender Day of Remembrance.

I have long had a concern for the rights and protection of Transgender individuals, including those who are gender-nonconforming and others in the LGBTQ community. But I think it's become more personal and important in the year since I began my own transition. So this year I decided to do something specific.

I have listed “All I Need is a Miracle” on Amazon. Please leave a review if you choose to.

Thank you.

All I Need is a Miracle

A short rant.

I published a story that had plenty of Trans content, but also Female Domination, Bondage, BDSM, Slavery the whole 9 Fetish yards really. It had the caution warnings, then had more added because apparently people ignore the content warnings and read anyway.

It got comments of the ewww and not for here, and can you not write sweet gentle stories like wot we want?

As I have ran through several edits to the story I realized how much was not fully explained and how I could extend the middle. I plan to have Tai relive each day, but, much like an episode of Star Trek TNG (Cause and Effect), slight changes are made each time she relives the day.
I also wanted to know if it is required to show more of what happens to during these loops.

A last post from oop North!

My latest effort has been posted. "I Won't Take No For An Answer" is a short story, roughly 4500 words. Something to cleanse my palette and perhaps the palette of some of the reader of my last work.

Sorry for the erratic postings but my access to the interweb is a bit sporadic this week.

new poem is up

its a bit rough, so read with caution

All of Bailey's stories are IMHO love stories.

My PTSD has decided to pay me a visit.

As a result, I'm very shaky.

hugs appreciated.

As it's been awhile, thought I'd babble on the current progress drafting Hope's Light. It's going fairly well so far, the draft is somewhere between a third and a half written. Still tons more to do, but it's certainly building that snowball of momentum down the mountainside which becomes the omg avalanche by the end.

Since Google search and results was part of a recent blog I thought this was interesting.

I recently discovered asstr.org was gone. Apparently its been gone a while, but its not somewhere I went often. It did have an archive of stories called Old Joe's Collection. This had a TG section of stories from when I started reading them on Usenet. Usenet was the internet's message boards before the web was invented.
